Matthew 1:18 "betrothed. Jewish betrothal was as binding as modern marriage. A divorce was necessary to terminate the betrothal (v. 19) and the betrothed couple were regarded legally as husband and wife (v. 19)- although physical union had not yet taken place." (MacArthur NKJV Study Bible) "1:26–38 Luke’s account of the announcement of Jesus’ birth tells the story from Mary’s perspective, while Matt. 1:18–25 focuses on Joseph and cites Isa. 7:14. The announcement in Luke parallels similar announcements in the Old Testament (see Gen. 16:7–14; 18:1–15; Judg. 13:3–23)." (The Nelson NKJV Study Bible) "1:27 a virgin engaged. According to Jewish law, espousal or engagement was as binding as marriage. See note on Matt. 1:19." ... "1:19 her husband. Although Joseph and Mary were not yet married, so sacred was the year of engagement, or betrothal, that they were by custom considered as if married (cf. Gen. 29:21; Deut. 22:23-30). Consequently, Joseph’s only recourse seemed to be to “send her away,” which meant to give her a bill of divorce, a certificate saying, in effect, “This woman is not my wife; I am not her husband” (see Hos. 2:2)." (The Ryrie Expanded Edition Study Bible) |
